Watching the first of the three editions on catch-up and I was right!! Nothing learnt, full of stereotypical "spotters", total incompetence from the lead presenter, Peter Snow and as has been pointed out already, with a full quota of minority boxes ticked.

What did the BBC think they were doing commissioning this programme, and presenting it in this way? It will do little to promote aviation as a hobby (not just the narrow number crunching side). Dreadful!

Anyone think otherwise?
